Interview Lea Thompson

posted Aug 29 2012 7:36AM
Actress Lea Thompson was a big part of my childhood. I must have watched Back to the Future a few hundred times. So when I got the chance to interview I screamed a little. But it almost didn't happen. The interview time came and passed, but after the fact I messaged Lea for the first time on Twitter AND she messaged me back and we still got to talk. It's a very amazing testament for social media.
I talked to Lea about the new season of Switched at Birth on ABC Family, her character writing a book, sign language, my embarassing story about Back to the Future, her fan involvement, the Enchantment Under the Sea, her daughters acting and more:

posted Aug 1 2012 7:27AM
Author Peter Doggett takes a unique look at a unique artist. David Bowie in the 1970s was doing something no other rock star was doing -- marketing himself on and off the stage. Music wasn't enough for him. Bowie had to create something more, and he did sucessfully. It might of had something to do with his marketing background.
I talked to Peter about Bowie, Ziggy, cover songs, influence, marketing, business smarts, Mt. Rushmore and more:
